      Infrastructure as a service
    </h1>
    <p>
      Cloud computing isn’t just a passing trend. It’s the approach many
      forward thinking organisations now take with their technology. Why?
      Because Codio helps manage issues like access, availability, scalability
      and disaster recovery.

    </div>
    <p>
      With Codio there’s no new infrastructure needed or software to install.
      It’s easy to use, scalable and designed for teaching code.
